black pepper [Music] mix it up until the dry ingredients are melded well within now it’s time to pour that mixture in the pot boom so right here we got our bone-in skin on chicken thighs and actually i found them for a good deal at smith 78 cents a pound that’s killers all right so what we’re gonna do is put some oil in that pan and swirl it around once that oil is nice and hot time to damn those chickens in the pan doesn’t matter which way you’re putting them in there unless if you want a killer serum like i usually do but i’m showing you traditional styles so we hit salt the cracked black pepper and like i said you don’t necessarily need to sear it but i do it just because rendering the
fat makes for a better texture all the way around at least in most cases but this batch right here this is just the first half we’re gonna do the same exact thing to the second half and i just heated up the sauce what we’re gonna do is turn down the heat on there so we don’t overcook the first batch or the first half of the chicken while we’re waiting on the second so we put our chicken thighs in the sauce and let it go periodically when you can check the chickens flip them push them in there switch them around just so they evenly cook and you want to leave it in there for about 45 minutes to an hour depends on the texture you like if you like it super soft pull it apart power baby now

it’s slurry time for flour slurry just make sure to add water first to the glass and then your powder do equal parts i did about 4 tablespoons each but honestly aim to thicken it to how you want before mixing your slurry with your sauce you do want to separate the chicken pieces out of the sauce in case you want to strain the ginger and garlic pieces out and to also ensure that you keep your chicken pieces whole instead of having shredded chicken which is super bomb as well you can honestly do as you please [Music] warning remember to remove the piece of whole ginger in the pot instead of thinking it’s a piece of chicken now time to add the slurry and thicken that sauce get it
to a rolling boil while pouring in there stir reduce the heat until it’s sticking to your liking see for me i like them extra thick they better coat that whole back of the spoon yeah and that’s how you make one of hawaii’s favorite dishes show you chicken let’s go with shoyu chicken you always need rice another favorite is macaroni salad unfortunately i didn’t make some today maybe in a video soon and just like gravy you can never have enough sauce and to finish it off top it with some green onions that’s that shoyu chicken guaranteed to broke the mouth all right so we’re going to sample whoa that is home cooking just like mine yeah this is killers you may be wondering why i have two plates here so i’m gonna go ahead and pass this over to my uncle here you go thanks boy oh so you like that i don’t know yet one minute later oh uncle slow down i just need another bite you need to come follow subscribe then like me hello everybody thank you
